. . . . Christmas tidings . . . .

Ormolulu is open for business--always--on this blog.

If you see items you love, they can certainly

be shipped. Please inquire by email

if something catches your

eye. Don't be shy!

Unfortunately, our opportunity to show special Christmas merchandise

at 2nd Saturdayz is behind us, due to the *Grinch virus*!!

Many things are still packed--some are at Pac Gal--

and here are just a few sweet treasures

still here in our home.

Please feel free to scroll through ORMOLULU's previous

posts to see if something is on your gift list.

Quicker than a nod from Donner

and Blitzen--it will be sent

to your home!!!!!!

* * * *

It's a busy, busy time . . . so much to do, especially

if you have small children in the home.

I'm wishing all of my friends

a holiday season filled

with the quiet

reflection

of

special moments

with your family and friends!!

. . . a few of my favorite things . . .

Having missed the December 2nd Saturdayz due to illness (Jim

first, and now me) . . . we're especially looking

forward to the market in January.

Yes, I should be focused on the Christmas season--and

more of that will be coming too, once all the

decorating is finished. Had a good

start . . . and then I just

stopped. Weird,

huh?!

Meanwhile, these are my "ornaments" . . . ha-ha!!!!

Hope you're enjoying all the festivities

and NOT catching any bugs!

* * * * * * * * Re-Post of Sand Point * * * * * * * *

Creating content from a show location proved to be challenging.

Without our beloved *iPhoto*, the previous

post (now deleted) just didn't

make the grade.

So, here's a bit of a *re-do* on the

December 5th Sand Point Antique & Design Market.

Thanks AGAIN to all the fabulous customers

who bundled up and joined us in the chilly

hangar--you really ROCK!!!

Unfortunately, I re-fractured my foot on

that cold concrete . . . grrrrr!!!

But--with feet up for a few days--I'm still looking forward

to the next fabulous 2nd Saturdayz Market in

the workshop (ooh, warmth!!) on

December 11th.

There will be LOTS of holiday joy for you

to see . . . always an experience

like no other show!!!

With all the *bad news* the media keeps throwing at us,

let's keep our spirits UP . . . and be supportive

of each other. It's not an easy time

for anyone I know .

I truly have so much admiration for the hard-working,

creative, and durable people in this business.

There are certainly much easier ways

to make a living.

But the LOVE . . . the joy of doing what compels

and inspires us . . . that's just

irreplaceable!!

Last Sand Point Antique & Design Market of 2010

Dress Forms . . . "lost in space"

~ HOME ~

Somehow I managed to *lose* these images on yesterday's

post . . . but my little family wouldn't be

complete without them.

The photo above was taken at The Farm Chicks Show

in June . . . all these forms have new homes!

The unique "jockey form" on the right is at Pacific Galleries in

Seattle (the other two were *adopted*).

Hope you've enjoyed visiting the family . . . we never argue,

fuss and fight!! ;0)
